6 Howard – Difficult afternoon for the full-back who didn’t get much opportunity to showcase his attacking talents.

7 Humphreys – Positive signs from the youngster who looked dangerous in attack and denied Zebre a certain try.

5 Stelling – A quiet day for the centre who didn’t see a great deal of the ball.

7 Grove – Worked tirelessly to make tackle after tackle and to get Warriors yards upfield.

7 Hammond – Another who didn’t see much of the ball but always chasing high kicks and scored a fine late try.

5 Lamb – Always looking to get the back-line going but struggled against an exuberant Zebre defence.

6 Bruzulier – Confident box kicking got Warriors out of spots of bother but couple of loose passes put his back-line under pressure.

6 Bower – Pack struggled at the set-piece in the first half which put them on the back foot.

6 Bregvadze – Looked comfortable with line-outs and a handful in the loose.

5 Milasinovich – A huge test in his first start before being replaced just after half-time.

5 Sanderson – A tough return to starting line-up for the big lock.

6 O’Shea – Looked solid in the line-out and always throwing himself around.

6 Kirwan – Tireless work-rate from the flanker looking to put pressure on the likes of Phil Dowson.

5 Betty – A tough day on his 100th club appearance and found himself in the sin-bin before the break.

6 Mama – A busy day at number eight and regularly found himself with ball in hand.
